Well thanks to my good friend Amy, I got some great pictures of Cameron's birthday party. Cameron is definitly 2 now...he has shown the attitude...

Oh...we went to the dr's today....34.4 lbs and 33.5 inches long. Big short boy :-)

So he's two...it's official. I tried holding off admitting to it till 6pm but it just wasn't working. He knew it was his birthday. Walked around the house singing to him self. Asking for Cake. Kept saying "Me 2!" No way to avoid it I guess. He had a blast yesterday. We picked him up from daycare early yesterday, right after nap (which before nap, they had cupcakes at daycare and sang to him), and he walked into the house with the living room covered in balloons...talk about excitement!

We than played, played, and played even more outside. We played with the ladies next door too which made for a fun time as always.

We got a bike from nan and poppop and a nice shiney new helmet from Aunt B that he LOVED since it had Elmo on it...who wouldn't like that?! He didn't want to take it off.

All in all we had a blast yesterday. But the fun is yet to come...this Saturday is our big b-day party. I will be posting those probably on Sunday :)

I have a 2 year old. When did that happen?! When did he get big like this? How dare he do this! I never gave him permission to get big. Nope NEVER. Now don't get me wrong. I LOVE this age...well love/hate. I LOVE that he communicates with us, tells us he loves us, tells us what he wants...I hate that he yells at us and tells us NO! BUT I love this age. He is so much fun. He really is. He is absorbing EVERYTHING and repeats it all. The things he says, my goodness. I just can't believe he's 2 already. Just doesn't seem fair. I still rock him to sleep every night, except when he was teeny tiny, he fit just so perfectly in my arms, now, I have this huge monstrosity on my lap whose legs hang off the side and can't sit still. It is just crazy to me. My little man is 2.

I post often about his clone, but never post many pictures of him...eeek my bad hehe.

Usually I get..."I love you maanie" while my face gets squeezed by little 2 year old hands and than this happens:

Weeeee!

Thank god...while its rainy and yucky out...I am just glad today is Friday. We are getting (we as in Gerry we) ready to put up Cameron's big birthday present. He is going to be 2 next week! My goodness! Can you believe that?! While I miss that wee little baby I used to have...I am actually LOVING this stage (well...other than hissy fits and the typical 2 year old fights). I love the cuddling, the wanting to read stories, using sentences, the singing, the dancing, the laughing...it just melts our hearts.

Cam loves his harmonica...loves loves loves it...

We are in a cuddle-bug phase now. We love to cuddle with mommy and daddy on the couch and just relax, watch TV or read read read (especially Goodnight Moon and Love you Always). I am just absolutely soaking this all in because I know it probably won't last long. We have had some pretty nice weather lately too, and if this past week is ANY sign...I will have an awesome tan this summer...he just wants to play play play play play.

Went to Smith Playhouse this weekend with a bunch of my mommy friends and Ger went with us...They both seemed to have a blast too...I just love this one of Ger and Cam that I got...

Not posed...Ger just kept hitting the shutter :)



Now of course, nothing happens in our house without a hissy fit though :)

Mmmmmm Snack Pack...



Make sure we get every last little bit...even if its on the edge of the placemat!

So tell me...what do you think? Post a comment and tell me....let me have it!

Amazing what a father will do to make his baby laugh...

Slideshow of our Easter!

Oh and on a side note, look how big mason is getting!

Pictures of what Easter is for us in the Krauss House.

My little dude melted my heart this evening. While rocking him to sleep, Cam and I had the following conversation...

Cam: Maannie
Me: Yes baby?
Cam: Maannie pretty
Me: Thank you baby
Cam: I love you maannie
Me: Love you too sweetie.

So my photography board that I go on has started a challenge for everyone on it. Take 1 picture a week, with your child. It's that simple. Either you take the picture or have someone take it. You think it's simple? I attempted a self portrait of Cameron and I today...yeah............its gonna be a work in progress hehe. But in all honesty, it doesn't matter to me...by the end of this year, I want to have 52 pictures of Cameron and I together.

Oh and I got Ger involved too!!!

It's almost that time of year! Saturday night is the day! MmmMmmmmMmmmm warm Easter Bread....ugh I can NOT wait!

I know we already saw these...but I love the b&w's too...
